Abstract

The change of valley degeneracy in a Si(111) inversion layer due to the intravalley exchange and correlation at high magnetic fields is mapped out as a function of the density and of the strength of the interaction compared with the impurity scattering. The calculated magnetoconductivity is used to explain the observed splitting of the last Landau level in the Shubnikov-de Haas measurements.
